I don't know if any SM people follow the old Monty Python group but they
have a "medical" scene where the doctor's diagnosis of the patient is "Not
dead yet!". That's how I feel about my SM. This is one amazing computer. I
bought a refurb 4000MT so long ago I forget the date. Since then it has
endured many improvements. Full RAM, Rage Orion video card, USB card,
10/100 ethernet, a SCSI card and an IDE card and a Newer 300MHZ G3. I play
DVDs and have a CD/RW burner for CDs and VCDs. It is hooked up as my
desktop via a SMC router to a DSL connection. The router is also set up for
wireless DSL connection for my wife's PBG4Ti400. But the SM still does
everything I need. I have no plans to upgrade until the G5s are established
and I can find an affordable used/refurb with PCI slots. Maybe the SM will
become a server then, maybe it will end up in my wife's 2nd grade classroom
like our previous computers did. I still keep a partition with OS 7.6.1 so
I can run my old copy of Virtual PC when I need to open WIN95 things. The
biggest problem I have now is Appleworks 6 compatibility from my wife's
school work back to Appleworks 4/5 on the SM. If someone ever gets an OSX
hack going this SM will run forever.
I do have a couple questions. I am looking for an alternative screen
saver/distributed computing contribution like SETI. I now have 10,000 SETI
hours and 353 processed packages. Maybe its time to crack DNA or something
else with computer off time. Any good suggestions?
Second question, is there a way to back up my wife's Powerbook running OS10
to the SM? Maybe just data files?
